Biax now has lab sheet extrusion capabilities to offer, enhancing our current biaxial orientation capabilities. In March of 2013 Biax installed a ZSK-25 Krupp Werner & Pfleiderer 25mm twin screw, co-rotating extruder. This extruder feeds a casting/calendering vertical 3 roll stack. Material can be wound after extrusion, or fed straight to the Biax MDO line.

Featured Capabilities:

• 25mm co-rotating screws.
• 40:1 L/D.
• AC motor and vector drive 10:1 constant torque over base speed range.
• 2.5 ratio gearbox for screw speed to 1200 RPMs.
• Electric barrel heaters and a cooling manifold for heating and cooling in a controlled manner.
• 9 barrel sections and 10 heating zones.
• Liquid injection capabilities.
• Temperature controlled vertical 3-roll stack.

Calendering/Casting Unit:

• Clutch driven, variable speed wind-up unit, utilized if only extrusion is required.
• 3-roll vertical stack.
• 12″ roll diameter.
• Variable speed drive.
• Calendering capability.

#3 – 14 inch and #1 – 16 inch chrome plated P-20 Cloeren sheet dies are available for customer use.
